Chapter 332: Chapter 333 Simple and Naive

Translator: Doggotranslation

“It’s not the same!” Mo Fei interrupted me and said stubbornly, “It’s different... Chu Nan, you don’t understand that feeling. Sometimes, when you have a person in your heart, you will feel like you have everything in the world. But sometimes, even if you have the world, but if you lose that person, you will feel that you actually have nothing... You don’t understand that loneliness at all!”

“So who is that person in your heart?” I smiled shamelessly, even though I didn’t want to smile at all. I hoped Mo Fei could strike down my shamelessness and mock me. Yes, I would rather let her mock me than becoming the person who would make her feel like she had lost everything in the world, “Your father?”

“Yes,” Mo Fei no longer dodged the subject of her father like she used to. Staring into my eyes, she said in a deep voice, “But when I felt that I had lost the whole world, a man appeared. He is shameless and despicable, but he gave me a new world, but when I finally cheered up and plucked up the courage to embrace this world, he tried to destroy the world with his hands. The most hateful thing is that while he is cruelly ravaging me, he pretends to be innocent and smirks at me!”

My ‘smirk’ was frozen on my face awkwardly, only the corners of my mouth twitched unnaturally. Good god, I was described by her as the devil of the world…

“I am sorry...”

“I didn’t say it was you, why do you need to apologize to me?” Mo Fei’s insinuation was crueler than her blunt resentment. She did not force me to respond to her feelings. But the more she was like this, the more I couldn’t bring myself to hurt her.

Just like Liusu, she was a woman who made me feel guilty and ashamed of myself...

“I mean, can you let go of me? It kind of hurts.” I pointed to Mo Fei’s hands that were clutching on my shoulder, and smiled bitterly, “I’m sorry, but can you let me get up?”

Mo Fei, who was trying to suppress her emotions, blushed. “No, I haven’t finished yet. Why do you want to get up? Are you going somewhere?”

“I’m not going anywhere. You are wearing high heels, won’t you be tired after standing for a long time? You should sit here.” I was really scared. What if Chu Yuan suddenly opened the door of the office, and saw me sitting in Mo Fei’s seat while Mo Fei’s hands were on my shoulders, who knew what she would think...

“No, I won’t sit no matter what,” Mo Fei said stubbornly, like a disobedient kid, “I just like to watch you sit here. You should feel honored. Apart from me, no one else has ever sat on this chair. You are the first and only one.”

I knew Mo Fei was scrupulous about the injury on my leg, but I just couldn’t get used to the ambiguity of her words. Just when I was about to say something, she smiled and said, “If you really care about me and don’t want to see me standing, then let me sit on your lap. Otherwise, no matter what you say, I will not let you stand up.”

What was this? A threat? But what kind of threat was this?

I no longer dared to ask her to sit down anymore. After clearing my throat, I said, “you said you have something to tell me? What is it?

As if winning a war, Mo Fei felt very proud of herself. She didn’t think that I would dare to take advantage of her in her office. She just wanted me to sit quietly. So after hearing that I changed the topic, she smiled at me and said, “A serious business. Chu Nan, since you’ve decided to stay, there is no reason for you to refuse now, right?”

I said in confusion, “Refuse what?”

“Be my assistant,” Mo Fei said again. Seeing that I showed a troubled look, she hurriedly said, “I admit that I am selfish, but this has nothing to do with me promoting you to be my assistant. You have the ability, so you deserve this position. Besides, if you think about it, since the company asks me to be in charge of the cooperation project with the Third Lady, and the Third Lady also specifically asked you to be the representative of the company, you can’t just meet her with the position of a little office clerk, right? If other people found it out, it would not be good for Fengchang’s reputation. They would think Fengchang is very arrogant, and we looked down on the third lady... So Chu Nan, you should understand the consequence of this, right?”

What Mo Fei said was very reasonable, but the shyness and excitement in her eyes really made me very worried. I was not a timid man, but because I still had a feeling for her, I just didn’t dare to pluck up my courage to accept the position…

Mo Fei was like a drug. If I didn’t touch her, I would be scared of her. But if I touched her, I would definitely become addicted to her. Because I couldn’t completely remove my feelings for her, I could only suppress them.

“I... I can agree... but I think I should talk to Liusu first. Otherwise, she will definitely misunderstand it again...” I had always considered myself an independent man who could make decisions by myself, so at this moment, I couldn’t help but blush when I realized that I hesitated.

“It’s the same whether you tell her or not.” Mo Fei frowned slightly and said jealously, “she has misunderstood it anyway... Actually, I hope that it is not a misunderstanding but...”

I was speechless…

“Okay, I won’t make it difficult for you. You can tell her first, she is not an unreasonable person anyway. She is just jealous of me. Once you coax her, she will definitely forgive you and listen to everything you said,” Mo Fei quickly gave in and said, “She just looks smart, but she’s actually dumber than anyone else. From that slap alone, everyone could tell what she was thinking. She is just like a naive and simple little girl who doesn’t know how to conceal her feelings at all...”

“Then what about you?” I subconsciously asked.

“Me?” Mo Fei smiled and said, “I am a temptress. Only I can see through others, but who can see through me?”

There was too much sadness in Mo Fei’s words. I couldn’t help but say, “Actually, you are like Liusu. You are just wearing an extra layer of a mask than her. Your mystery is only an appearance, Fei Fei, in my opinion, you and Liusu are the same. In fact, you may be even simpler and... even more naive than her.”

Mo Fei was dazed, “I am... simpler and more naive than her?”

“Others can’t see through you because you’ve isolated yourself from other people,” I stood up and smiled slightly at Mo Fei, “You are not alone. You just need to open yourself up to more people, and then you will find that I am not your world, and there are many things worth pursuing in this world. I am just a person who can evoke your memories with your father. Having memories is a good thing, but don’t get lost in your memory. Remember, what is most important is the present and the future, not the past... If there is nothing else, I think I need to leave now. Yuan Yuan is very timid. If she doesn’t see me around when there are many strangers, she will get very anxious...”

This was of course an excuse. I didn’t know if Chu Yuan was really anxious or not, but I was very anxious. God knew if someone couldn’t keep their mouths shut and told Chu Yuan something that she shouldn’t know. After all, I was definitely the person who people discussed the most in the company at the moment...

Mo Fei didn’t stop me. She just thought deeply about the words I said. Only until I opened the door did she stop me and said with a serious face, “Chu Nan, maybe you know Cheng Liusu well, but you don’t know me. I’m just being honest with my feelings. You said that I need to open up, but what about you? Do you really open up to your feelings? You clearly like me, but you don’t dare to admit it.”

Hearing this, I was dazed...

I didn’t know how to answer Mo Fei at all...

. . .

The atmosphere of the general operation team was very lively because of the two more little girls. When I came back, I saw Song Jia, Yao Wan’er, Qin Lan, and other people playing around Chu Yuan and Kang Kang, talking and laughing. Even Brother Wei was also there.

While telling Chu Yuan about interesting things in the company, he even made exaggerated gestures, making Kang Kang giggle non-stop. It actually made me wonder if she really understood what Brother Wei said. And Chu Yuan still maintained her shyness in front of outsiders, politely pursing her mouth and smiling, without any childlike appearance. That contrived maturity and calmness really did not match her.

Seeing me coming back, Chu Yuan’s hypocritical smile immediately showed a bit of joy. She who didn’t like to be surrounded by many people might have been scared by everyone’s enthusiasm.

Chu Yuan and Mo Fei had one thing in common, that was, they both wore a layer of a mask on their faces, a mask that was only taken off when facing me and their family

.

The corners of Brother Wei’s mouth still had some bruises. It was the wound left by the person with whom he had a fight, when he heard that person saying bad things about me. When he turned to see me, the smile on his face suddenly became stiff. Then he waved at me and said, “Brother Nan, how is your recovery?”

While he was speaking, Chu Yuan also happened to ask, “Elder Brother, why didn’t I see Elder Sister Cheng? Didn’t she come to work today?”

Not only me, everyone’s expressions became a little unnatural. Especially Brother Wei, Elder Sister Liu, Song Jia, and Yao Wan’er who were aware of my relationship with Liusu. It seemed that everyone had guessed why Liusu did not come to work recently…

Brother Wei had been dissatisfied with the things I did recently. In fact, it also stemmed from my vacillating attitude between Liusu and Mo Fei. Everyone knew what the real reason for my insistence on resigning was. Therefore, the sudden change of my decision made many people confused about what I was really thinking.

I knew that whether it was Elder Sister Liu or Song Jia, they all had opinions about me in their hearts. It was just because of my relationship with Mo Fei, they didn’t know how to talk to me. Especially Song Jia. She was the person who admired and respected Mo Fei the most. Only Brother Wei was not afraid of anything, and he didn’t mind that I would tell Mo Fei what he told me…

Of course, I wouldn’t do that.

“She...”

“She took a day off.”
